HamdenCatholic Homily: July 12, 2026

Today is July 12, 2026 - the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Lee Hellwig and Deacon Joe Ryzweski.This week's homily reflects on the Parable of the Sower and on the sowers of faith in our own lives. Shared following his 40th anniversary of ordination, Fr. Hellwig's message reminds us that God scatters the seed of His word generously and without condition, regardless of the soil it falls on. Drawing connections to Isaiah and St. Paul's letter to the Romans, this homily offers a message of hope for times of doubt, loss, or discouragement within the Church, reminding us that God never stops sowing, and that even a small, open heart can yield a great harvest.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.
